Savory Ground Beef and Zucchini Noodle Stir-Fry with Lemon Basil Drizzle

Begin by spiralizing the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler. Set the zucchini noodles aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula.

Cook the beef for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is browned and cooked through. Season the beef with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, stirring to combine.

Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet with the beef, tossing them together gently. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the zucchini to soften slightly but still retain some crunch.

While the beef and zucchini are cooking, prepare the lemon basil drizzle by combining the juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl.

Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. Once the stir-fry is ready, remove it from the heat and drizzle the lemon basil mixture over the top.

Toss everything together to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed. Serve the stir-fry warm, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
